Step 1
Use a 30-minute agenda
Allow five minutes for teams and rules, twenty minutes for the board, and five minutes for the winner, missed-question recap, and next action.
Step 2
Choose categories around the event
Use onboarding, product knowledge, customers, tools, team wins, and one light Wild Card. A training event should reinforce useful knowledge; a retreat can lean further into shared stories.
Step 3
Write safe work questions
Avoid performance rankings, compensation, private customer information, personal embarrassment, and clues that only executives or long-tenured employees could know.
Step 4
Set the answer flow
Choose device buzzers, a team captain, chat, or written answers. Run one practice clue so the room understands how a response becomes final.
Step 5
Finish with a clear moment
Use a tie-breaker or final challenge, name the winning team, and recap one answer that matters to the work.
